On The Town

Sung by Gene Kelly Frank Sinatra Betty Garrett

Ann Miller Vera Allen Jules Munshin

Before we go on a lark I got one suggestion before we embark

There are a lot of nice things to do in the dark

But let's not go rowing in Central Park

Woo woo woo

We're going on the town New York

We're riding on a rocket we're going to really sock it Because tonight's the night

We're going on the tube We're going to raise a riot the Brooklyn Bridge we'll buy it

And hit the hype tonight the highest hype tonight

East side west side rouse the city One day one night that's the pity

And we won't look ahead

We'll let the light of dawn get around We're really living

Jack we're going on the town

Stop fellows what are we saying

Look over there the fleet doesn't she look sweet What did we leave it for

What are we doing on shore We're simply crazy about the navy

How's that

We love it more than we can say

How nice

We get like a good fresh air

Uh huh

The ocean's everywhere

Uh hum

That's we hate to get leave and go away

It's just so touching hear them say take your leave and go away

Can't even leave the ship when life is play all the live long day

Just think of what could we be doing today

We could be swabbing the deck sweeping the bunks with a broom We could be shoveling tons of coal down in the boiler room

Bad news we got the shore leave blues

It just so tragic hear him sob

He would freak on a tricky spot

Pour on the happy night We got news we have the shore leave blues

Especially me I miss the chow

And that's not all my friends just think of this Towels excelsior see
